This month brought me an eye cream (ugh, why do they come in such HUGE tubes? I’ll never work through this whole thing); sheet mask (which I love); a mascara (the products card said it was supposed to be some kind of lash serum but that was a mistake); and a lip stain.

I’ve already got a few open mascaras so it’ll be a bit before I crack this one open. But I do love to try new mascaras! This one I got is worth approximately $13.

I’m going to try and save the sheet mask as along as possible. It’s the only one I’ve got right now. This will run you about $2.

I’m using another eye cream now (as always because even the samples I get take FOREVER to work through - #firstworldproblems, I know) so again, it’ll be a while before I open this one. It’s value is either $5 or $20, depending on which site you find it.

I did open the lip stain and test it out. This is a sample (full size goes for $5) so I’m guessing this is about $2. First, the package is adorable. The top is heart shaped (adorbs) and the color of the stain is gorgeous.

Top Pic: Left swatch is one swipe of fresh color and the right is 2-3 swipes. Bottom Pic: Stains after I wiped off the wet product. Now the swatches were only on my hand for about 30 seconds so believe me when I say this shit STAINS. They were both still there the next day! On the lips the stain wears off a bit faster (eating and drinking and talking and...whatever floats your boat-ing) but lasted a full day. This would be a great product for a convention or costume event. Doesn’t dry out the lips so you can keep putting a balm or gloss over the stain without it moving. Brilliant! The product is very watery so it’s a little difficult to work with and seriously, don’t fuck up the application because you don’t want to end up looking like you have mouth herpes.

This bag could be worth $22 or $37, depending on the true value of the eye cream. I’m pretty happy either way!
